The Fate of Worlds.

The earth, says Flamarion, was born;
it will die. 1t will die when its vital
elements have been spent. or perhaps
by the extinction of the sun, in whose
rays its existence is suspended. 1t may
die by the shock of celestial body
which it might meet in its path. but
this end OF the world is the most inn
probable of all. 1t may die, we say,
by the slow absorption Of its elements.
In truth, it is probable that the water
and the air are diminishing. The
ocean, like the atmosphere, appears to
have been much more considerable
than at present. The crust of the earth
is penetrated by the waters, which
co nbine chemically with the rocks. 1t
is almost certain that the interior tenn
perature of the globe at ten kilometres
(about SIX miles, of depth reaches the
boiling point and impedes a further
descent of the waters; but the alb
sorption will continue with the cooling
of the globe. The oxygen, nitrogen
and carkonic acid, which compose orr
atmosphere, 81, pear to suffer likewise a
slow absorption, Arkaassaw Tfaveler.
